Kevin OReilly, a member of the White House National Security Staff who regularly communicated about Operation Fast and Furious with the Arizona-based ATF agent responsible for running the operation that allowed guns to flow to Mexican drug cartels, was suddenly transferred out of the White House and into Iraq in July 2011.

The transfer took place shortly after the ATF agent had testified in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the White House had provided the committee with a series of emails that OReilly and the agent had exchanged while Fast and Furious was underway.

Since then, the White House has declined to allow OReilly to be interviewed either by the committee or by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who conducted the administrations internal investigation of Fast and Furious. The White House also refused to give the inspector general access to internal White House communications relating to Fast and Furious.

When Congressman Darrell Issa and Senator Chuck Grassley fired up their investigation, O'Reilly ended up in Iraq. Issa and Grassley want to talk to O'Reilly, and a phone interview will do. O'Reilly's attorney says his client is willing, if...the White House will allow it. So far, there has been no interview.
